Weight loss by the numbers – thanks, NuVal!

The NuVal nutrition scoring system at Hy-Vee helps customers make healthy choices by rating the nutritional density of foods on a scale of 1-100 … the higher the NuVal score, the better the nutrition.

Sally, before

For Sally Galvin of Olathe, KS, those little numbers on the shelf tags at her local Hy-Vee added up to one very big number — a 115-pound weight loss!

Over the course of 18 months, Sally committed herself to a regimen of diet and exercise that included lots of incremental changes in her lifestyle. One of these changes: using Hy-Vee’s NuVal numbers to select better-for-you foods both within and between categories. As the weeks and months passed, she started to see the benefit of those trade-ups in the falling numbers on the scale.

Sally - 115 lbs lighter!
